Here's another interesting one for you metal players
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjONQNUU8FgCool performance, but it don't really sound like a guitar.
When i was playing with Edgar Winter the keyboardist was Peter Schless
(co-writer with Jeffrey Osborne of "On the Wings Of Love"). He is a
monster player and he used to run his DX7 into a Walkman. I hated
soloing after him when he used his "guitar" sound because he was so f/g
good it was intimidating. He doesn't scare me any more (please don't
tell him I said that).

iLock trick - I can boot Digital Performer on my outboard FX computer w/
the iLock so as to use the Waves IR reverbs then pull the iLock, plug it
into my main studio computer and boot Protools so as to run the Waves stuff
there. So one iLock can run all the computers for a big studio. Not that
I have any great use for that trick since I use Paris... which keeps me
in Mac OS 9 which eliminates most of the cool new plugins.
The thing that bums me out is that I'd have to buy a PC to run Paris on in
Windows XP in order to demo these plugins! I've been on the verge of switching
to PC for that very reason for a while now but I don't even know if I could
put a Paris PC together with what's available on the market now. Then there's
the PC learning curve! I been a Mac guy for a long, long time...

Any takers please email me at willtheweirdo@gmail.comHey there tone,
Yeah, I can bite that a "string" could be substandard, but not 3-4 in the
same set of six. Figure the statistical odds of this happening. Millions
to one in my estimate. You should be compensated with a years' supply (which
probably would only be about 5 sets) just to get you back in good terms with
the company. Sometimes these guys can underestimate the influence of word
of mouth.

Yep, Ive been culling through the NG in my quest to assemble tips for the
Wiki and that struck me too; heck of a development tempo Mikešs been keeping
up since last year - bodes well for the future.
Of course, I want to distract Mike with a couple of little
not-directly-plugin-related ideas Išve been tossing around. I think Išll go
post on em.

Right on.Greetings.
For those of you with DirectX plugin woes, I have come across a
wonderful DX wrapper plugin (vst), which has saved my bacon yet
again with certain combinations of plugins causing popping, and
even loss of audio.
This is a freeware VST plugin which allows you to chain up to four
DX plugins, using just one Paris Native FX slot.
Better still, you can save these combinations as a preset.
Even better, you can simply drag and drop the plugins to rearrange
their order in the chain.
I have been having problems over the years with certain DX plugins
causing pops at the beginning of segments, but those same plugin
combinations seem very stable when wrapped in this baby.
Of course, being a DX wrapper only, doesn't mean you can't use
VST plugs. Simply use the "wrapped" versions you probably already have,
courtesy of the FXpansion wrapper, and you are good to go.
In theory, this opens up the possibility of 16 native inserts
on any Paris channel.
I'm going to set up a template with one of these on every channel
of my default project and use this as my new plugin manager within
Paris. Just being able to reorganize the order of plugins by dragging/
dropping, is worth it.
Not sure yet, but this plugin could solve the instability
everyone experiences with paris and certain plugins.
It's available here:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/vb-audio/us/products/dxrack/dxra ck.htm
Scroll to the bottom of the page to get the freeware 4-slot
version.
These guys also have a wonderful plugin manager, which allows you
to disable unused DX plugins, without having to deinstall them.
You can reenable them at any time.
This is great for those who are tired of scrolling through a huge
list of available plugins within Paris.
It's available here:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/vb-audio/us/mm/plugman/vb_plugma n.htm
It's little tools like these, as well as Mike's new EDS plugins
which help keep my vibe on Paris intact.
I'm yet to look into the Faderworks plugin, but it looks
promising.
KimOops, gave a little wrong information.
The ffx-4 is a DX plugin manager, in the form of a DX plugin. (not a vst
plugin, as indicated).
The rest still stands.

Is there anyway to open a Paris session in Protools?
Is there a way to convert .paf audio files to .wav 24bit / 44.1K
Is it possible to 'spot' the .paf audio files in protools
If my only choice is to find someone with a Paris system to do the conversion,
what should I expect to pay per song? (5min x 24 tracks)

>Hi Jeff,
If there are a bunch of edits and overdubs in the Paris project you'll need
to bounce the tracks on a Paris system. If the tracks are contiguous raw
tracks you can use Peak or Soniqworx (I' a Mac dude - don't know what the
PC equivalents are) to convert from .paf to .wav. If you need help feel
free to email me.

I'm also thinking about building a dual boot Hackintosh 6600 machine. At
the Moment I have many other priorities, including financial.
Aaron, I'm curious about what you and Jamie are using for your video production
rigs. What cameras, lighting etc. I've done wedding videos in the past
with mini DV cameras and I'm thinking about getting back in for supplemental
income. If you guys have time shoot me an email.
